BEFORE RE-STARTING YOUR UNIT

Every time before pressing “ON” to start your

unit – Be sure to remove all ashes (burnt or

partially burnt) from your burn pot area!

Wearing protective gloves and with the unit

cool, remove the Wear Plate and dump the

ashes, ensuring that the air holes are clear

from debris. Also be sure to follow all other

maintenance instructions as outlined in your

Owner’s Manual and the Instructional DVD

included with the unit. Failure to remove

ashes from this area before each burn can

cause smoke-back and serious damage to

your stove, and can void your warranty. We

will not be held responsible for poorly

maintained units, including excess ash in the

burn pot area.

Burn Safe and Burn Clean –

Clean the burn pot area daily!

A NOTE ON COLD AIR RETURNS AND

CENTRAL FURNACES

Some homes, including the modern, air-tight homes that are well-insulated, create a negative draft that

could cause smoke to be released from your unit, especially if it is too close to your home’s Central

Furnace. If you install your stove in the same room as the Cold Air Return from your home’s Central

Furnace, you must place your stove at least 20 feet (20’) from the Cold Air Return. We recommend you

open an outside window slightly, and never close the door that leads from this room to the rest of your

home.

IN THE EVENT OF SMOKE-BACK

1. If you see smoke coming out of your unit into the room due to a power failure,

DO NOT OPEN THE HOPPER OR DOOR TO YOUR UNIT!! Remain calm. DO NOT UNPLUG

UNIT!! Open the nearest outside door and windows and wait for all signs of smoke to clear (at least

one hour, although the smoke should dissipate quickly once the door and windows are opened). When

power is restored, press the ON button to restart your unit, and let the unit run for at least 30 minutes.

-- If you see any further signs of smoke-back, press the OFF button and call Technical Support at (800)

245-6489 before restarting your unit, as damage could have occurred due to the power failure.

-- If you see no more signs of smoke-back, press the OFF button and wait for your unit to completely

shut down and cool down, then clean the burn pot area before restarting your unit (see “Before Re-

Starting Your Unit,” above).

2. If you see smoke coming out of your unit into the room and the power has not failed,

DO NOT OPEN THE HOPPER OR DOOR TO YOUR UNIT!! Remain calm.

DO NOT UNPLUG UNIT!!

Immediately press the OFF button, open the nearest outside door and windows and wait for all signs

of smoke to clear (at least one hour, although the smoke should dissipate quickly once the door and

windows are opened). Do NOT restart your unit before calling Technical Support at (800) 245-6489.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1. Check local installation codes for your area. Call your Homeowner’s Insurance representative for

inspection of your stove’s installation.

2. Read and comply with the instructions in this manual.

3. This unit should be tested (dry run) before loading pellets for 20 minutes. The stove should

automatically shut itself off after the 20-minute dry run.

4. Your stove is designed to burn Wood Pellets only. Burning pea coal, cherry pits, or anything

other than wood pellets will void your warranty. Pellets with high ash content will burn dirty and

require the unit to be cleaned more often. This unit is designed for use with ¼” diameter pellet

fuel. Using pellets longer than 2” can bind the auger and require frequent manual removal.

5. Be sure your pellets are not damp or wet. Keep sawdust out of the unit.

6. Use three-inch (3”) U.L.-approved (ULC if Canada) PELLET VENT TWIST-LOCK PIPE when

installing this stove and follow the manufacturer’s specifications for installation and clearances (we

highly recommend Dura-Vent pellet twist-lock pipe: AC-3000 kit, AC-33000 if Canada). For

installations over 4000 ft. above sea level the exhaust should be vented with 4"pellet vent pipe

(AC-3100 kit, AC-33100 if Canada). Even though this pipe interlocks, it is a good idea to seal all

connections with high temperature silicone (AC-RTV3). Use at least three screws to secure the

pipe to this unit’s exhaust blower. Also, if you do not use U.L.-approved twist-lock pellet pipe, be

sure to use U.L.-approved Pellet Vent pipe, and fasten each joint of the pipe with at least three

screws (ULC-approved if Canada).

Outside combustion air is mandatory for these units to work properly. Make this connection using a 1 ⁷/₈”

I.D. metal pipe (steel, aluminum or copper) and coupler. Be sure to secure the pipe to the unit with a clamp

or aluminum tape. The outside end should be covered (screened) to prevent any foreign matter from

entering the system.

Try to keep the number of bends in this pipe to a minimum. Our Part Number PU-OAK (Outside Air Kit with

flex pipe) can be used.

NOTE:

If an older unit, measure the opening to determine what size pipe to use.

NOTE: If the total run of the intake air connection exceeds 6’, use 3” metal pipe and coupler instead.

7. Regularly inspect the burn pot area and, if any crust forms, remove it with a poker.

8. The ash in the burn pot should be removed regularly, depending on your burn rate. The area to

the right and left of the burn pot is for ash storage; keep the air holes in the burn pot clean for a

more efficient burn. Check your exhaust system frequently. Refer to “Ash Removal and Disposal”

section.

9. Keep pellets and all other combustible materials a safe distance from the unit.

10. This unit will require floor protection if installed on a combustible surface. The minimum floor

protector for the 25-PDV should give at least one inch (1”) of protection at the rear, four inches (4”)

on each side, and six inches (6”) minimum in the front of the unit.

11. Horizontal runs should not exceed four feet (4’) with a maximum vertical flue height of thirty five

feet (35’). At fifteen feet (15’), the pipe should be increased to four inch (4”) pellet vent pipe.

12. This unit should be turned off and allowed to cool prior to cleaning. Any ashes should be kept in

an airtight metal container and not disposed of until they are completely cooled.

13. Read the instructions thoroughly, including instructions concerning the digital control board, and

save them for future reference.

IMPORTANT! READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS, INCLUDING

CLEANING THE UNIT AS SPECIFIED, AND REPLACING GASKETS ANNUALLY, AND PARTS AS NEEDED.

ENGLAND’S STOVE WORKS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR INJURY INCURRED DUE TO NEGLECT, OR

DUE TO UNSAFE INSTALLATION OR USAGE OF THIS PRODUCT. CALL TECHNICAL SUPPORT WITH QUESTIONS.

14. Do not allow paint, chemicals or construction dust on or near your unit. Do not allow liquid or ANY

foreign materials on or inside your unit. Shut your unit down and cover it when painting,

construction or similar activity is taking place. Wipe and clean your unit after any construction is

done in your home, or if any foreign material gets on or inside your unit. You may also need to

remove the rear and side cover plates to your unit (unplug unit first) and vacuum and clean the

motors and inside of your unit.

15. Improper gasket maintenance, including failure to replace gaskets, can cause air leaks resulting in

smoke-backs. See Gaskets section of this manual, page 20.

16. Remember that, as with any appliance, there is user responsibility involved, including installation,

operation and maintenance of this product. Be sure to check local codes, and call Technical

Support at (800) 245-6489 if you have any questions.

17. Be sure to follow the directions of all manufacturers of third party products that you use,

including exhaust pipe, etc. Never use gasoline, lantern fuel, charcoal lighter fluid, diesel

fuel or any other flammable liquid to start the fire. If you manually start your unit,

recommended fire starter materials are: Wax-impregnated wood chips, cardboard cubes or

firestarter chips designed for pellet stoves (see section on Manually Starting Unit). Follow

any manufacturer’s directions for these products, and NEVER place any firestarter on any

hot surface or hot coals. Never apply any firestarter products of any kind to a hot surface

or hot coals.

18. Basement Installation: We recommend basement installation be performed only by a

professional installer. For basement installations, a 3” (three inch) pipe and coupler must be used

for Outside Combustion Air, and a minimum clearance of 3’ (three feet) must be maintained from

the ground to the pellet vent exhaust pipe outside the dwelling. Keep in mind that each elbow

used reduces draft by 15%; it is good practice to add 3’ (three feet) of vertical rise for each elbow

used. Example: After the 2^ndelbow used, have 6’ (six feet) of vertical rise before terminating your

vent pipe.

UNIT PREPARATION

1. Attach the spring handle to the door by turning it counterclockwise.

Important: Also check hopper latches – must be tight so that the top is sealed to prevent

back-burn.

2. Test your 110-volt outlet for current and then plug in the unit. (We highly recommend a surge

protector for our pellet unit, as the control panel is electronic).

3. It is important to note that this stove is equipped with a dual auger system. The top auger runs

intermittently and drops pellets to the bottom auger; the bottom auger runs constantly and simply

pushes the pellets forward to the burn pot. The control board (“Heat Range”) setting determines

the top auger feed rate.

4. The stove has a digital read-out control board and is started by pressing the “ON” touch pad. This

will start the upper auger, bottom auger and exhaust blower. The room air blower will start later as

the stove reaches the pre-set blower temperature (see “Control Board” section for further

explanation).

5. Check to be sure both augers and the exhaust blower are operating before connecting the unit to

the flue system. Be sure to “dry run” your unit for 20 minutes before connecting it to the flue (it

should stop automatically after 20 minutes).

Proper Impingement (Baffle) Plate Placement

in Pellet Stove Firebox

Occasionally in shipping, the impingement (baffle) plate may shift out of its proper position. If this

is the case with your stove, follow these instructions to return the plate to its proper position.

1. Remove the plate from the stove, holding the plate by its tab handle, with the cutout notch

facing upwards.

2. Turn the notched end into the doorway (as shown above), and lift the plate up to allow the

bottom of the plate to fit in the doorway.

3. Let the bottom of the plate rest on the firebox, and then push the bottom of the plate flush

against the back wall of the firebox. At this point, the plate will lean forward (toward the front

of the stove) slightly, and will come in contact with the front of the stove above the door.

4. Finally, center the plate on the firebox, so that it will be centered above the fire when the stove

is in operation.

FLUE SYSTEM

Caution: Follow the pipe manufacturer’s installation instructions and directions for passing

through combustible walls and ceilings.

Be sure to check local codes in your area.

NOTE: See the installation drawing later in this manual (Illustration 1).

This unit is equipped with a negative draft system that pulls combustion air through the burn pot

and pushes the exhaust air out of the dwelling. If this unit is connected to the flue system other than

the way explained in this manual, it will not function properly.

For any of these installations, keep in mind that each elbow used reduces draft by 15%; it is good

practice to add 3’ (three feet) of vertical rise for each elbow used. Example: After the 2^ndelbow used,

have 6’ (six feet) of vertical rise before terminating your vent pipe.

Pellet Vent Pipe

The UL approved (ULC if Canada) pellet vent pipe that we recommend is a twist lock system;

however, it is still recommended that high temperature silicone (AC-RTV3) be used at each joint.

England’s Stove Works recommends the use of Dura-Vent twist-lock pipe (AC-3000 kit, AC-33000

if Canada; if you use other pipe, consult your local building codes and/or building inspectors, and

secure each joint with at least three screws—see Important Information, above). Do not use “B” vent

gas pipe or galvanized pipe with this unit. The pellet pipe is designed to disassemble for cleaning and

should be checked several times during the burning season — pellet vent pipe is not furnished with

the unit and must be purchased separately. For installations over 4000 ft. above sea level the

exhaust should be vented with 4"pellet vent pipe (AC-3100 kit, AC-33100 if Canada). Do not install

a flue damper of any kind in this system, and do not connect this unit to a flue system serving

another heating appliance.

Through the Wall

To vent the unit through the wall, connect the pipe adapter to the exhaust motor adapter. If the

exhaust adapter is at least eighteen inches (18”) above ground level, a straight section of pellet pipe

can be used to initially pass through the wall (see Illustration 1). Your dealer or our factory should be

able to provide you with a kit that will handle most of this installation, which will include a wall thimble

that will allow the proper clearances through a combustible wall. Once outside the structure, a three-

inch (3”) clearance should be maintained to the outside wall and a clean out tee should be placed on

the pipe that extends through the wall. We recommend a minimum of three feet (3’) of vertical pipe

with a 90-degree turn away from the house. At this point, a one-foot (1’) section and horizontal cap will

complete the installation (see Illustration 1).

A wall strap should be placed just below the last 90-degree section to make the system more

stable. If you live in an area that has heavy snowfall, it is recommended the installation be taller than

three feet (3’) to get above the snowdrift line.

The same type installation can be used if your stove is below ground level by adding the clean-out

section and vertical pipe inside until ground level is reached. However, we recommend basement

installation be performed only by a professional installer. For basement installations, a 3” (three inch)

pipe and coupler must be used for Outside Combustion Air, and a minimum clearance of 3’ (three

feet) must be maintained outside the dwelling from the ground to the Pellet Vent Exhaust Pipe.

The through-the-wall installation is the least expensive and simplest installation. In a through-the-

wall installation you should be mindful of the snowdrift line, as well as dead grass and leaves. We

recommend a three foot (3’) minimum vertical rise on the inside or the outside of the dwelling.

IMPORTANT! READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS, INCLUDING

CLEANING THE UNIT AS SPECIFIED, AND REPLACING GASKETS ANNUALLY, AND PARTS AS NEEDED.

ENGLAND’S STOVE WORKS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR INJURY INCURRED DUE TO NEGLECT, OR

DUE TO UNSAFE INSTALLATION OR USAGE OF THIS PRODUCT. CALL TECHNICAL SUPPORT WITH QUESTIONS.

Through the Ceiling

When venting the stove through the ceiling, the pipe is connected the same as through the wall,

except the clean out tee is always on the inside of the house, and a 3” adapter is added before the

clean-out tee. You must use the proper ceiling support flanges and roof flashing supplied by the pipe

manufacturer -- follow the pipe manufacturer’s directions and Illustration 1 in this manual. It is

important to note that if your vertical runs of pipe are more than fifteen feet (15’), the pellet vent pipe

should be increased to four inches (4”) in diameter. Do not exceed four feet (4’) of pipe on a horizontal

run, and do attempt to use the least number of elbows in the flue system. If an offset is used it is

better to install a 45-degree elbow whenever possible. Please remember, installing elbows may

inhibit your draft by up to 15% per elbow.

Existing Flue System

If you are replacing a wood stove with a pellet unit the chimney or pipe should be thoroughly

cleaned before proceeding with the installation. If connecting this stove to a factory built chimney, it

may ONLY be a 6” flue, UL103 HT venting system (ULC S629 if Canada). Connection to any other

factory built chimney may result in a poorly operating or dangerous stove installation. When

connecting to an existing masonry chimney, the cross-sectional area of the flue must be considered.

A chimney with a flue larger than 6” round (28.27 sq. in.) may require relining with an approved pellet

stove chimney lining system. Make sure the chimney meets the minimum standards listed in NFPA

211 (A chimney professional can confirm this upon inspection).

Outside Air (Outside Combustion Air Intake)

Outside air is mandatory for this unit to operate properly. This unit has been designed and tested

with this connection, because so many homes are airtight and there is not adequate combustion air

available inside the dwelling. The air intake pipe is located on the bottom side of the burn pot (from

the rear) and measures 1 ½” inside diameter (I.D.). The connection can be made with a metal 1 /₈”

I.D. coupler and pipe (see “Important Information” section of manual), and should exit through the

wall. Be sure to secure the pipe to the unit with a clamp or aluminum tape. The outside end of the

pipe should be covered (screened) to prevent foreign matter from entering the system. Our Outside

Air Kit (Part Number PU-OAK) can be used. If the unit is located below ground level, you will need to

run the pipe up and then outside the dwelling. NOTE: If the total run of the connection exceeds 6’, if

more than 2 elbows are used, or if a basement installation, use 3” metal pipe (and coupler) instead.

Note: If an older unit, measure the opening to determine what size pipe to use or couple to.

Mobile Home Installation

Secure the heater to the floor using the two holes in the pedestal. If the unit is on a combustible

surface, you will need to drill matching holes in the floor protection that you choose (see Floor

Protection section). Do not disturb the structural integrity of the home, and be sure the unit is

permanently electrically grounded to the chassis of your home. Remember that outside combustion

air is mandatory, and not to install the unit in a sleeping room of the home.

WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL IN SLEEPING ROOM

CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MANUFACTURED HOME FLOOR, WALL AND

CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.

*IMPROPER INSTALLATION: The manufacturer will not be held responsible for damage caused by

the malfunction of a stove due to improper venting or installation.

Call 800-245-6489 and/or consult a professional installer if you have any questions.

IMPORTANT: Improper hook-up (too much pipe, too many elbows, etc.) will cause the unit not to

operate. Call Technical Support (800-245-6489) if you have questions about your hook-up or if

your unit will not operate.

IMPORTANT! READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS, INCLUDING

CLEANING THE UNIT AS SPECIFIED, AND REPLACING GASKETS ANNUALLY, AND PARTS AS NEEDED.

FLOOR AND WALL PROTECTION

Floor Protection

If your floor is constructed of a non-combustible material such as brick or concrete, there is no

need for floor protection. If the floor is constructed of a combustible material such as hardwood,

linoleum, or carpet, then you will be required to use floor protection between the unit and the

combustible. The protection should be U.L. approved or equivalent (ULC if Canada) and must be

large enough to provide a minimum of one inch (1.0”) behind, four inches (4.0”) on both sides of the

stove and at least six inches (6.0”) in the front of the unit. This floor protection is intended as spark

and ember protection only, therefore it need only be non-combustible (there is no required R value).

INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER

Wall Protection

From the rear and the sides of this stove only six inches (6”) of clearance is required to paneling, wallpaper

or drywall. The pellet vent pipe usually requires the standard three inches (3”) of clearance, or as recommended

by the manufacturer. Normally additional wall protection is not required with this type unit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE WITH THE DOOR OPEN.

If door is left open (approximately) two minutes, unit will stop feeding and fire will go out.

Do not burn trash (paper bags, etc.) in this unit.

This stove has an induced draft system and is designed to operate continuously, as frequent

shutdown is not required. The digital control board operates the unit with a time delay-relay system;

this system controls the top auger feed rate by operating for a predetermined number of seconds

while the bottom auger runs constantly. The setting of the “Heat Range” touch pad will control the

heat output and the amount of pellets the unit will burn (see “Control Board” section and

Illustration 2). Note: This stove is using solid fuel and will not restart automatically.

* NOTE: Blower Speed will automatically be adjusted to the desired Heat Range that you select.

Horizontal Feed System

This unit has a top and a bottom auger that are separated by four inches (4”); a 1-RPM motor

drives each auger. The top auger intermittently drops pellets to the bottom auger tube, and the bottom

auger pushes the pellets forward to the burn pot. This helps prevent build-up of fuel in the bottom

auger tube. As pellets enter the burn pot the combustion air is drawn across the fuel.

START- UP PROCEDURE

Caution - Never use gasoline, lantern fuel, charcoal lighter fluid, diesel fuel, or any other

flammable liquid to start the fire.

1. Be sure the hopper is clean and free from foreign materials. Be sure there is current at your

outlet (we do recommend a surge protector with our unit).

2. Before your first fire dry run your unit (with no pellets in the hopper) for 20 minutes.

Press the “ON” button to begin the dry run. After the 20 minute dry run, the control board will

return to “OFF.” An error code will appear in the Heat Range and the Blower Speed windows

as “E-2,” which means the unit failed to start normally. After this code is received and you are

sure the unit is working properly, fill the hopper with wood pellets. Do not allow any part of the

bag or any foreign material in the hopper, as this may jam the augers. Ensure that all pellet

matter is cleared from the hopper lid gasket, make sure the hopper lid latches and the door of

the unit are securely closed and press the “ON” button; this will clear the error code and restart

your unit.

Automatic Start-Up

When the “ON” button is pressed from a cold start, the unit is in “Start-Up” (after 3 seconds, there

will be an “S U” in the Heat Range and Blower Speed windows to verify this). While in this mode,

the unit has a preset heat range and will remain in this mode for 20 minutes to prevent the unit

from over-firing. During this start-up period you can set the Control Board at the setting you desire;

after the start-up is complete, the unit will operate at the user setting.

Manually Starting Your Unit

In the event the Auto-Start does not initiate, you may manually start your unit. To manually start

your unit, first clean any pellets out of the burn pot (to prevent over-feeding). Place a handful of

new pellets in the burn pot, then spread a small amount of pellet fire starter over the pellets and

ignite them. After the pellets ignite, close the door to your unit and press the “ON” button (if the

door is closed before the pellets fully ignite, the Exhaust Blower could put out the fire).

Recommended fire starter materials: Wax-impregnated wood chips, cardboard cubes or

firestarter chips designed for pellet stoves. Follow any manufacturer’s directions for these

products, and NEVER place any firestarter on any hot surface or hot coals. Never use gasoline,

lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, diesel fuel or any other flammable liquid to start the

fire. Do not use the manual startup method if the igniter is working. NEVER place firestarter near

the igniter. If you have continued problems with the Auto-Start Igniter, call Technical Support.

E-Codes

“E-Codes,” or Error Codes, are codes that will appear in the Heat Range and Blower Speed

windows of the Control Board if your unit experiences problems. If you receive any of these codes,

first attempt to reset your unit by pressing the “ON” button (only once). If the unit continues to display

any E-Code(s), please contact Technical Support at (800) 245-6489 before further attempting to

restart your unit.

1. E-1 = Vacuum Loss

2. E-2 = Fail to Start

3. E-3 = Over Temperature Limit

NOTE: “E-0” indicates “No Error”

First Fire: Adjust the “Heat Range” to a “5” setting and allow the stove to burn in this manner

for at least three (3) hours. This will allow the unit to “cure out” as the paint and the

oils from the manufacturing process burn off. We recommend you open doors and

windows in your dwelling during this process.

Subsequent Cold Starts: In a cold start situation, the unit should be operated at a “5” setting

until the room air blower begins to operate.

NOTE: The start-up cycle for this unit with the Auto-Start Igniter is 13 minutes. Press the

“ON” button only once on start-up. Pressing the “ON” button a second time during

the start-up cycle will cause the start-up cycle to begin again.

IMPORTANT: If the unit fails to start properly, or does not properly complete the Shut-Down

procedure, open the closest outside door and a window to eliminate the home’s

natural draft BEFORE opening the stove’s door or hopper lid. This will allow any

smoke to exit through the external air hook-up instead of spilling into the home.

SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURE

WARNING: NEVER SHUT DOWN THIS UNIT BY UNPLUGGING IT FROM THE POWER SOURCE.

Refer to the following instructions:

Press the “OFF” touch pad to put the stove in the “Shut-Down” mode. There will be an

“S D” in the Heat Range and Blower Speed windows while the unit is shutting down to verify this. At

this time the red light above the “OFF” pad will illuminate. When the “OFF” pad is touched the top

auger will instantly stop feeding pellets to the bottom auger tube, but the room air blower, exhaust

blower and bottom auger will continue to operate. When the internal temperature drops to 95 degrees

the room air blower will cease to operate, and when the internal temperature drops to 90 degrees the

bottom auger and exhaust blower will stop. The red light will then shut off and the entire stove will be

shut down. The hotter the unit is operating, the longer it will take for the stove to complete the Shut-

Down cycle.

Note: The unit will exit the Shut-Down cycle if you press any buttons during Shut-Down.

Note: If the room temperature stays above 70 degrees the stove will remain in the Shut Down mode

for 60 minutes, regardless of the temperature reading at the heat sensor. If the stove stays on

longer than 60 minutes the unit will automatically turn off.

IMPORTANT! READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS, INCLUDING

CLEANING THE UNIT AS SPECIFIED, AND REPLACING GASKETS ANNUALLY, AND PARTS AS NEEDED.

DAILY OPERATION

Refueling the Unit

Always press the “OFF” touch pad before refueling. This stove has a (approximately) 60-lb.

hopper, and should be refilled when the hopper level drops to three or four inches.

Note: The hopper lid will be warm; therefore, you should always use some type of hand protection.

NEVER place your hand near the auger while the stove is operating.

Note: Always ensure that all pellet matter is cleared from the hopper lid gasket before closing. Be

sure to close and latch hopper securely before re-firing. Do not operate this unit with the

hopper lid open or unsecured.

Power Outage

If the power to the unit is interrupted for approximately three minutes or less, the unit will resume

operation when power is restored according to the following table:

Unit’s State Before Power Loss

State When Power Returns

Start-Up

Shut-Down

OFF

Shut-Down

OFF

If the power is interrupted for more than (approximately) three minutes, the unit will be “OFF”

when power returns.

Important: Do NOT open the hopper lid or the door to the unit during power outage. Open the

closest outside door and a window to eliminate the home’s natural draft.

Wait for power to be restored and then press the “ON” button to re-start the unit, if necessary.

We highly recommend the use of a surge protector with your unit, as power surges and failures

can affect the operation of any electrical appliance.

We do not recommend leaving home with the stove on the higher heat ranges; it is recommended

that the stove be left on the lower heat ranges (Heat Range setting 1 or 2).

NOTE: Remember: 1) It is very important for the unit to be vented properly (see instructions on

Outside Air), as the natural draft is needed to clear the smoke from the stove. 2) Do not open

the hopper lid (or the unit’s door). This may cause fire to burn in the hopper.

Fuel Outage

If the unit should run out of pellets, simply reload the hopper and press the “ON” button (only

once) to re-start the unit. If the unit runs without pellets, after one hour the unit will shut down.

NOTE: Even if flames are visible inside the fire box always press the “ON” button to ensure that your

unit will restart.

Combustion Blower Failure

If the Combustion (exhaust) Blower should fail on this unit, a Vacuum Shut-Down Switch will

automatically stop the stove. This will shut your unit completely off, and there will be an “E-1” code in

the Heat Range and Blower Speed windows on the Control Board. At this point you will need to

contact Technical Support at (800) 245-6489.

NOTE: It is very important for the unit to be vented properly (see instructions on Outside Air), as the

natural draft is needed to clear the smoke from the stove.

IMPORTANT! READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS, INCLUDING

CLEANING THE UNIT AS SPECIFIED, AND REPLACING GASKETS ANNUALLY, AND PARTS AS NEEDED.

DUE TO UNSAFE INSTALLATION OR USAGE OF THIS PRODUCT. CALL TECHNICAL SUPPORT WITH QUESTIONS.

As with any maintenance concerning this unit, be sure the unit is “OFF” and has completed the Shut-

Down cycle BEFORE beginning. Be aware that metal parts in the firebox can remain HOT long after

the fire has gone out and EVEN after the Shut-Down cycle is complete. Always use extreme caution

when handling potentially hot stove parts, even if you think they should be cold.

NOTE: The instructions below concerning the cleaning of the burn pot and wear plate area are

especially important to the function of your stove. Failure to follow them regularly can result in

burn-back and can damage your unit and/or void your warranty.

ASH REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL

IMPORTANT: While the amount of ash generated by this unit is not excessive compared to

log-burning woodstoves, keeping the unit clean and free of ash is essential for

peak performance. Too much ash build-up hampers airflow and reduces the

unit’s efficiency, and can cause smoke-back. Follow these directions at least

as frequently as the schedule below, or more often if needed.

*Failure to properly clean your stove can cause poor performance and possibly a burn back!*

Daily Ash Maintenance

Press the “OFF” touch pad and allow the stove to burn for five (5) minutes prior to opening the

door. A long-handled screwdriver or long-handled putty knife can be used to scrape off any build-up

or crust in the burn pot area. This can then be pushed to the left or right into the ash storage area.

Bottom Auger Tube

Semi-Weekly Ash Removal

Twice each week:

Shut the unit down by

pressing the “OFF” pad and allowing the unit to go

through the complete Shut-Down cycle. Allow the

unit to completely cool down and then remove the

ashes with a scoop. The ashes should be placed in a

non-combustible container with an airtight lid and

should always be placed on a non-combustible

surface or on the ground until completely cooled and

free of hot cinders.

Once the ash is removed, the burn pot should be

given a thorough inspection. Remove and clean the

burn pot wear plate (refer to the exploded diagram in

the rear of this manual – Illustration 6, and the close-

up diagram shown here), and remove any ash build-

up in the area below the wear plate. Also, be sure

there are no ashes or obstructions in the tube under

Illustration 2

the wear plate. Check for any build-up in the front of the burn area. Clean out all air holes (if

necessary a 1/8” drill bit can be used) --these air holes should be kept clean, as they supply

combustion air under and around the pellet fuel. The burn pot assembly should also be thoroughly

cleaned, including the feed auger and feed tube. When replacing the wear plate, ensure that it lies

flat in the firebox and no gaps (from ash residue) are under it.

IMPORTANT: Ash build-up under the wear plate can cause the unit to malfunction.

Disposal of Ashes

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ahses should

be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending

final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be

retained in the closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.

IMPORTANT! READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS, INCLUDING

CLEANING THE UNIT AS SPECIFIED, AND REPLACING GASKETS ANNUALLY, AND PARTS AS NEEDED.

ENGLAND’S STOVE WORKS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR INJURY INCURRED DUE TO NEGLECT, OR

DUE TO UNSAFE INSTALLATION OR USAGE OF THIS PRODUCT. CALL TECHNICAL SUPPORT WITH QUESTIONS.

Monthly Ash Removal

The large baffle plate (12-5/8” x 9-3/8”) that rests above and behind the burn pot (refer to the

section on “Proper Impingement Plate Placement” and the exploded diagram in the rear of this

manual – Illustration 6) should be removed monthly. This can be done by lifting up the plate and

pulling it out. The area behind the plate should then be cleaned thoroughly, and the plate placed back

in the original position.

Use a screwdriver or chisel and break any creosote build-up in the front of the unit, where the

pellets are fed into the burn pot from the Bottom Auger Tube (see Illustration 2). Moisture in the

pellets and resulting build-up in this area can cause the bottom auger to “squeal” or squeak.

Also inspect your flue pipes, and remove ash buildup from the clean-out tee.

Carbon Removal: During normal operation carbon from the combustion of pellet fuel will tend to

build up on the tip of the auger, on the wear plate and sides of the fire pot, and in the mouth of the

feed tube. It is essential that this residue be removed to ensure trouble free operation of the unit. The

frequency with which this carbon must be removed varies with brands of pellets, depending on

moisture content, wood type, foreign material (dirt, etc.) in pellets, and other factors.

To remove this carbon, simply scrape it off using the blade of a flat tipped screwdriver or similar

instrument; also, to remove it from the feed tube, scrape as much as can be easily reached, then

insert an emery board (i.e. fingernail file made from a popsicle stick and sandpaper) between the feed

auger and the feed tube and sand out any residue not removed from scraping alone. Clearing this

carbon residue from the feed tube is essential for proper operation of the feed auger, which is

designed to float freely in the feed tube allowing smooth fuel flow, a lesser possibility of a jam, and a

quieter unit.

Annual Cleaning

The stove and the flue system should be given a complete cleaning at the end of the heating

season.

Remove the burn pot assembly, clean it thoroughly, and re-install it (refer to

Illustration 6); this will require new gasket for the burn pot. Be sure to tighten the set screws when

you replace them, but do not over-tighten. In addition to the cleaning mentioned for semi-weekly and

monthly, the Combustion (exhaust) Blower should be removed annually and the blower tube

vacuumed of any ash build-up. Note: There is a Combustion Motor Gasket (Part PU-CMG), which

allows you to remove the motor from the Combustion Blower housing, clean your stove, and replace

the motor and gasket without having to remove the entire Combustion Blower. However, if you must

remove or replace the entire Combustion Blower, a new blower flange gasket (Part # PU-CBG) should

be added between the blower flange and the steel exhaust tube.

Since the convection (room air) blower does not handle any by-products of combustion, it does not

require serious cleaning like the exhaust blower. However, dust from the home and other debris in

the air can accumulate on the blades of the convection blower. The convection blower is located on

the side of the stove opposite the combustion blower, and should be removed for cleaning. Any dust

that has built up on the fan blades can usually be easily removed with a vacuum or a soft paint brush.

Soot and Fly Ash: Formation and Need for Removal

The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly ash. The fly ash will collect in the

exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as

that which occurs during startup, shutdown or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to

some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system. The exhaust venting

system should be inspected at least once every year to determine if cleaning is necessary.

Parts Orders: (800) 516-3636 www.englanderstoves.com Questions: (800) 245-6489

NOTE: Visit our web site for downloadable maintenance sheets and/or a service video that details

and illustrates the following maintenance tasks.

Rear Panel Removal

WARNING: To perform any maintenance inside the rear of the unit, the stove must be out

(no fire), cooled down and unplugged. Electrical shock can occur if the unit is

not unplugged from power.

To remove the rear panel, simply loosen the eight (8) screws (size 5/16”) and flex the panel. The

panel should come off without fully removing the screws.

Instructions for maintenance and part replacement procedures can be found on:

www.englanderstoves.com

Auger Motors

The Auger Motor and gearbox are one complete assembly (Part # PU-047040), and can be

removed by disconnecting the power leads and loosening the (⁵/₁₆” head) set bolt in front of the

assembly. This bolt tightens down on the flat side of the gear shaft and locks the gear shaft and auger

shaft together – once the bolt is loosened, the entire assembly will slide from the locking collar. There

are two motor assemblies on the unit, and both rest on a shelf when not in operation. When replacing

a motor, the assembly should always be placed to rest on this shelf prior to starting the unit.

Auger Bearings and Auger Shafts

The auger bearings (Part # PU-UCF204-12) are a sealed unit and do not require lubrication. To

replace the Top Auger, all the fuel must be removed from the hopper as well as from the Top Auger

assembly. Once this is done, the four bolts that hold in the bearing can be removed, followed by the

complete auger assembly. Loosen the two (2) set screws with a 1/8” allen wrench, which will

disconnect the bearing from the shaft (the bearing assembly and auger assembly can be replaced by

reversing this procedure). When placing the auger assemblies in the unit, always tighten the four

bolts in a diagonal pattern to ensure the bearings and shafts are aligned properly.

NOTE: Follow the same procedure to work on the bottom auger, with the exception that the pellets

do not have to be removed from the hopper.

Hopper Lid Safety Switch

This unit is equipped with a hopper lid safety switch (Part # AC-HLSB) which is directly

connected to the top auger motor. In the event the hopper lid is left open while the stove is in

operation, the hopper lid switch will prevent the top auger from turning. This is to prevent byproducts

of combustion from entering the home through the open hopper lid and also to simply prevent

operation with the hopper lid open.

Improper hopper lid safety switch operation will result in a top auger that will not turn and

therefore a stove that will not burn. NEVER place your hand or any object near the auger while the

stove is connected to power.

IMPORTANT! READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS, INCLUDING

CLEANING THE UNIT AS SPECIFIED, AND REPLACING GASKETS ANNUALLY, AND PARTS AS NEEDED.

ENGLAND’S STOVE WORKS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR INJURY INCURRED DUE TO NEGLECT, OR

DUE TO UNSAFE INSTALLATION OR USAGE OF THIS PRODUCT. CALL TECHNICAL SUPPORT WITH QUESTIONS.

Convection Blower

The Convection (room air) Blower (Part # PU-4C447) is located on the left side of the unit and can

be removed by disconnecting the power leads and removing the four mounting screws. Once this is

done, the blower will slide out of the stove. This procedure can be reversed to install a new blower.

Combustion Blower

To replace the Combustion (exhaust) Blower (Part #PU-076002B), the power leads and the pellet

vent pipe must be disconnected. Next, remove the screws that hold the blower to the steel exhaust

tube and slide the blower from the stove. Note: There is a Combustion Motor Gasket (Part PU-

CMG), which allows you to remove the motor from the Combustion Blower housing, clean your stove,

and replace the motor and gasket without having to remove the entire Combustion Blower. If cleaning

your blower, the blower impeller, blower tube and steel blower exhaust tube on the unit should be

brushed and vacuumed. However, if you must remove or replace the entire Combustion Blower, a

new blower flange gasket (Part # PU-CBG) should be added between the blower flange and the steel

exhaust tube.

Vacuum Switch

This unit is equipped with Vacuum Shut Down Switches (Part # PU-VS and CU-VS), which help

control various functions of the unit. If an operational error occurs in the unit, a switch will either stop

the top (feed) auger or shut the unit off; if the unit turns off an E-1 Code (error code) will appear in the

Heat Range and Blower Speed windows of the Control Board. Situations which could cause this

include power failure, Combustion Blower failure, improper flue installation, a blocked flue (from

rodents, nests, etc.), or “dirty burning” from burning improper fuel (see “Important Information” at the

beginning of the manual).

“Door Ajar” Vacuum Switch Port

If necessary, remove right side louver

to determine where vacuum port enters

firebox

Inside right wall of firebox

NOTE: The "door ajar" vacuum switch port must be kept clean, or the top auger will cease to function.

Locate the port hole on the right wall of the burn chamber (you may remove the right louver to follow the

vacuum tube to locate the hole) and, with the stove unplugged and cooled down, use a brush or pipe

cleaner (not a vacuum) to keep this port clear of ash or other debris (see picture).

Gaskets

IMPORTANT: IMPROPER GASKET MAINTENANCE, INCLUDING FAILURE TO REPLACE

GASKETS, CAN CAUSE AIR LEAKS RESULTING IN SMOKE-BACKS. CHECK

GASKETS OFTEN FOR AIRTIGHT SEAL AND REPLACE AS NECESSARY. IT IS

MANDATORY TO REPLACE GASKETS ANNUALLY.

This unit comes with a 3/4” rope gasket around the door that should be replaced annually. To

replace the door gasket (Part # AC-DGKC), the old gasket must first be removed entirely — prior to

adding the new adhesive, you may have to scrape the old cement from the door channel. Once the

cement and gasket have been added, the door should be closed and latched for twenty-four hours to

allow the cement to harden.

If you are replacing the window gasket (Part #AC-GGK), the new gasket will already have

adhesive on one side. Remove the paper on the adhesive side and place the gasket around the

outside edge of the glass by forming a “U” with your fingers and placing the gasket around the glass.

It is important to change the hopper lid gasket if it shows any wear. Be sure to replace the hopper

lid gasket annually, or sooner if necessary.

Note: There is a Combustion Motor Gasket (Part PU-CMG), which allows you to remove the

motor from the Combustion Blower housing, clean your stove, and replace the motor and gasket

without having to remove the entire Combustion Blower. However, if you must remove or replace the

entire Combustion Blower, a new blower flange gasket (Part # PU-CBG) should be added between

the blower flange and the steel exhaust tube.

Finish

This new unit has been painted with High-Temperature Paint (AC-MBSP) that should retain its

original look for years. If the unit should get wet and rust spots appear, the spots can be sanded with

plain steel wool and repainted. We recommend this paint, as others may not adhere to the surface or

withstand the high temperatures.

Glass

This unit has a 9” x 9” ceramic glass (Part #AC-G9, comes with gasket) in the viewing door.

Surface scratches are acceptable and normal, but if this glass becomes cracked in any area, the unit

should be shut down and the window replaced with this high-temperature ceramic glass.

Control Board

The Control Board (Part #PU-CB04) is a digital read-out board. This board offers a wide variety of

settings to operate the unit. This part can be removed from the unit by loosening the two outside

screws and pulling the board back to the inside of the stove. The rear access panel should be

removed prior to removing the control board. A 6-amp “quick-blow” fuse is used on this Control

Board.

NOTE: The bottom three control buttons are preset at the factory and should not require any

changes. See “Operating Instructions” and “Daily Operation” section of the manual for

instructions on other Control Board settings.

Adjusting Hopper Lid Latches

The seals around the top of the pellet hopper are important to safe and efficient operation of the

unit. The latches installed on these units are designed to pull the hopper lid tight against this seal.

Over the course of operation as these seals “wear in” and compress, the tension of the latches should

be tested periodically, and adjusted if necessary.

To adjust the lid latches, the following tools will be needed; two ½ inch wrenches, or a ½ inch

wrench and a ½ inch socket.

In order to adjust the latch, first (with the unit unplugged and cooled down) open the hopper lid

and then lock the latch in its closed position. Then take the ½ inch wrench and loosen the nut closest

to the latch. This nut is then adjusted closer to the lid itself to tighten the latch. After adjusting this nut

to the desired location, hold this nut in place with the ½ inch wrench, the tighten down the holding nut

on the end of the latch shaft with the ½ inch socket or second wrench to hold the latching assembly

in place.

After tightening the latches, test the latches for proper tension by locking the lid down and lifting

each front corner of the lid. The lid should be firmly held down by the latches. Repeat the same

procedure if the latch is still not tight enough.

Illustration 5

Hopper Lid Latch

Important:

Hopper Lid Latches must be checked periodically and

kept tight so the top is sealed to prevent back-burn.

ACCESSORY ITEMS

The following accessories can be added to your unit at anytime after purchase; however, let the

unit cool down before adding any accessories.

Thermostats

WALL: An external wall thermostat (such as our Part # PU-DTSTAT) can be used on our pellet

units as long as it is a low-voltage that works with millivolt systems. After unplugging the unit, locate

the jumper wire (J-18) on the bottom of the control panel. The two screws should then be loosened

and the jumper wire removed from the board. Next, the two thermostat lead wires should be slipped

into these openings and the screws tightened; the jumper wire should be saved for future operation

without a thermostat.

The unit will operate differently once the wall thermostat is connected – we recommend the

Control Board be set at “9” on Heat Range and Blower Speed while using the thermostat. Refer to

the section on “Start-up Procedure” for information on cold starts.

AC-103, AC-103BN Lip Trim

There is one piece of J-Channel trim in this kit that snaps onto the ash apron lip of the stove.

Match the channel with the correct edge of the ash apron, then remove the protective covering from

the trim and force the piece onto the edge. Although it should stay in place, stove cement can be used

to secure it if necessary.

NOTE: For stoves manufactured prior to 2001, the part number for this kit is AC-101-PU.

AC-106-P, AC-106-PBN Window Trim

Window trim can be attached by using the provided spring clip(s) and some high temperature

silicone (optional). Insert the tee end of the spring clip into the channel on the edge of the trim – then,

turn the clip and set the other end of the clip into the channel. The spring clip will hold well if it is

placed on the top edge of the trim before placing the trim in the window of the stove. Place the top

edge with the clip into the window opening, then push the bottom edge of the trim flush with the

window. We also suggest that high temperature silicone be used on the corners, to ensure the trim

will stay in place.
